Police want to trace this man in connection with the Second City Suite shooting.

A 31-year-old, arrested on suspicion of wounding and possession of a firearm with intent, remains on police bail.

Det Con Sarah Evans, from West Midlands Police’s investigation team, said: “We have been following numerous lines of enquiry and examining CCTV coverage in the area.

“The man is not thought to be directly involved in the shooting but was in the area at the time and may have vital information about what happened.

“Identifying the individual is now our priority. I would urge anyone with information to come forward as soon as possible.”

Earlier this month, members of Birmingham City Council’s licensing committee were told there had been an “absolute lack of control” at the venue on the night of the shooting.

They ruled that the cause of the “serious crime and disorder” appeared to originate from the “wholly deficient security arrangements” and “management failings” at the premises - adding that it was “a miracle” that at least one person had not been killed.
